If beauty had a price, would you let animals pay for it? 🐰🌿In our first-of-its-kind episode, Roxy finally gets to expose the harsh reality of animal testing in the beauty industry. Locked in cages, subjected to painful experiments, all for products we use every day. From the infamous Draize eye test to the torturous LD50, @shreyaghodawat and Roxy uncover the truth behind “humane testing” and why it’s nothing more than a myth.But there’s more. They break down the difference between cruelty-free and vegan products, the shocking scale of global animal testing, and why even some “natural” and “organic” brands aren’t as ethical as they claim. Are small brands cruelty-free? Does animal testing even make products safer for humans? With over 100 million animals suffering every year, millions for cosmetics alone, it’s time to rethink the industry.And here’s the real game-changer: if we stop buying, they stop testing. This isn’t just another beauty discussion, it’s a movement. Listen in, learn, and take action. The power to change is in your hands.#CrueltyFreeBeauty #EndAnimalTesting #StopAnimalCruelty #BeCrueltyFree #EthicalBeauty #VeganBeauty #ChooseCompassion #AnimalsAreNotTestSubjects #SayNoToAnimalTesting #BeautyWithoutCruelty #CleanBeautyRevolution #SustainableBeauty #ConsciousConsumer #NoAnimalTesting #BeautyIndustrySecrets #MakeupWithoutCruelty #TruthBehindBeauty #VeganMakeup #EthicalShopping #GreenwashingExposed #PowerInYourHands #SpeakForTheVoiceless #NotJustAPrettyFace #BeautyWithoutHarm #StopTheTests #RethinkBeauty #SaveRalph #ProtectTheInnocent #JoinTheMovement #CrueltyFreeMovementIn this Episode00:00 Trailer00:54 Meet Roxy01:16 Harsh Reality of Rabbits in the Beauty Industry01:54 Why Animal Testing Isn’t Necessary02:33 A Message for Those Using Animal-Tested Products02:54 Is Animal Testing Common?03:33 Is Testing Painless and Humane?04:18 Are Rabbits Cared For?04:53 Cruelty-Free vs. Vegan: What’s the Difference?05:39 Do Small Boutique Brands Test on Animals?06:08 Does Animal Testing Save Human Lives?06:33 Are Natural and Organic Products Cruelty-Free?07:23 A Final Message from Roxy 8:04 Step by Step Guide to lead a more compassionate lifestyle

What does devotion mean to you? Is it an act of compassion, or can it take forms that inflict harm in the name of faith and tradition?

They navigate the complex and often uncomfortable intersection of faith, tradition, and ethics, unpacking one of the most controversial topics: animal sacrifice.They ask hard questions: Why do practices like animal sacrifice persist in modern times? How do cultures reconcile these rituals with the growing demand for ethical standards?
